Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

Most importantly, the system rewarded me with a free trial of the skill.

This time, you can use the water gun with the Giant Needle in the gym battle!

I'm sure today's match will bring Xiaogang endless surprises.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time, let's go challenge the gym."

Ash strode forward, opened the door to the Pewter City Gym, and went inside.

"Hello, is anyone there? I'm Ash from Pallet Town, here to challenge the Pewter City Gym."

After a long while, an older man finally rushed out from backstage at the dojo.

"Here I am, here I am. Sorry to keep you waiting, challenger."

"I am Wu Neng, the Gym Leader of Pewter City."

This uncle came out in a hurry, still holding a baby bottle in his hand and not having had time to take off his apron.

"inability?"

"Martial power!"

"Why is it you? Where's Xiaogang?" Xiaozhi asked, puzzled.

"Xiao Gang? That's my eldest son. He stepped down as the head of the academy a while ago to pursue his own dreams."

Uncle Wuneng wasn't surprised that Ash knew Brock, after all, he had been the Gym Leader for the past few years.

But why does this young man look so sad?

"Damn it, why did Brock leave early?" This situation was completely unexpected for Ash.

They must have gotten lost in Viridian Forest and wasted time.

During this time, Wu Neng and Xiao Gang had already reunited and reconciled as father and son.

Since things had come to this point, Xiaozhi had no choice but to accept it.

"Since you're the gym leader now, it's the same if I challenge you."

"What are the rules for the battle?"

"The rules are a regular one-on-one battle, with a limit of two Pokémon."

When it came to serious matters, Uncle Wu quickly got into the swing of things, taking out a Poké Ball from under his scarf.

"Also, the venue is a rocky surface, is that alright?"

"No problem." Ash also took out a Poké Ball.

"Well, then..." The uncle nodded upon seeing this.

"Then I declare the battle open!"

"Go, Rumblestone!"

The Poké Ball thrown by the uncle landed on the field, and in the white light, a rocky sphere with an uneven surface appeared. The cracks and dents on the sphere formed blurry eyes and mouth.

Ash took out his Pokédex and scanned it. "The evolved form of Geodude..."

It seems that the new Gym Leader is using the same Rock-type Pokémon as Brock.

In his vague recollection, he seemed to have heard from some unknown marketing account that Pewter City Gym had quite a few Water-type Pokémon.

"Then this is the Pokémon I'm sending out. It's you, Beedrill!"

Ash threw the Poké Ball with a flick of his wrist.

A large, gray-black bee appeared on the field, its stingers crossed on both hands, looking quite imposing.

"Oh, that's a rare Pokémon," Wu exclaimed in surprise.

"But don't underestimate my Gravestone, use Rolling Attack."

At the command, Gravestone curled up into a ball-shaped rock with its arms wrapped around itself, then spun rapidly and charged toward Beedrill.

"Beedrill, get out of the way and use your water gun."

Uncle Wu's rumbler has a speed that is disproportionate to its size.

However, Ash's Beedrill was faster and successfully dodged the opponent's rolling attack.

The giant needle flew swiftly into the air, releasing a stream of water from the poison needles in its hand, which struck the rumble stone.

The rumblestone immediately let out a painful howl.

"Okay, I did it!" Xiao Zhi excitedly pumped his fist.

Beedrill successfully used its water gun attack.

Ash decides that he will pay more attention to missions related to skills in the future.

Beedrill was using its water gun for the first time, so its power was not as great as its other skills that it had already mastered.

The rumblestone quickly regained its balance and began to roll and spin again.

"A Beedrill that can use Water Gun?" Uncle Wu's expression grew increasingly serious. "This is a troublesome Pokémon."

The man then continued to issue rolling attack commands.

Unfortunately, Beedrill was too fast, and Gravestone's attacks all missed.

Gradually, the stamina of the rumbler began to wane.

"Now, Beedrill, use Pin Missile."

The Beedrill's ghostly figure floated directly behind the Gravestone.

Before Uncle Wu could react, several white beams of light had already struck the Rumble Stone.

An explosion followed, accompanied by smoke and dust on the ground.

The Gravestone has lost its ability to fight.

"You're a bit too strong for a rookie trainer," Wu Neng praised Ash after taking back the Gravestone.

"Uncle, isn't it a bit too much for a Gym Leader to have a Gravestone that can only roll around?"

"That's because you're a rookie trainer, really!" Wu Neng released his second Pokémon with a dark face.

"Go, Onix!"

The Onix with its powerful strike appears to be a darker color than the average Onix, and several menacing scars on its body indicate that it has been through countless battles.

only……

"Beedrill, water gun!"

"Orochi, get out of the way!"

The water gun attack successfully hit the Onix.

"Big Needle, use missile needle."

The missile pin hit Onix once again.

"Onix uses Tackle."

"Beedrill, use Ultimate Impact."

The massive Onix clashed violently with Ash's Beedrill, but the result was that Onix was knocked away.

As the dust settled, Onix lost its ability to fight.

This giant onyx looks so imposing, but it turns out it's all show and no substance.

Uncle Wu Neng truly lives up to his reputation as a man who traveled for years and returned empty-handed.

Ash successfully defeated the Gym Leader and obtained the Grey Badge of Pewter City Gym.

I originally planned to send Riolu to gain some experience, but Beedrill ended the gym battle so easily.

[Main Quest: Challenge Pewter City Gym Completed!]

[Rewards: Attack +2, Defense +2, Free Attribute +1, Rock-type moves are increased by 5% when possessing a Gray Badge]

Beedrill's affinity +1%

Beedrill friendship +1%

Xiao Zhi was very satisfied with his haul.

After both sides retrieved their Pokémon.

"Uncle, why don't you train the Pokémon at the gym more?" Ash suggested earnestly.

"I don't have time to train Pokémon because I have to take care of my children."

"But it's the gym that most novice trainers choose in the Kanto region anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Uncle Wu didn't care at all, waved his hand, and handed the gray badge to Xiao Zhi.

Then he quickly grabbed the baby bottle and ran to the dojo's backyard.

The reason why Pewter Gym was popular with novice trainers was because Brock would give them serious advice after each match.

However, it may eventually be placed on par with the current Cerulean Dojo.

Xiao Zhi silently mourned for Xiao Gang for 5 seconds in his heart.

Hopefully, when he returns from his trip, he won't find that his dojo has been shut down by the League prosecutor.

However, this has nothing to do with Ash.

"I've obtained the Gray Badge!"

They struck a pose reminiscent of Ash Ketchum, and then headed to the next city.

Chapter Seven: Mount Tsukimi

On the only way to Cerulean City.

"The name Tsukimiyama sounds very classical."

"Heave-ho, heave-ho, yeah."

"Maybe there's some romantic story behind it."

"Heave-ho, heave-ho, I heard there used to be a moonstone mine here. Those were very rare evolution items, but they're not commonly seen now."

"Can you put down the rock on your back before you talk to me?" Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi, who was doing squats with a huge rock on his back, with a dark expression on her face.

The very self-disciplined Xiaozhi started completing his prescribed training as soon as he woke up this morning.

This time, he was accompanied by Riolu and Pikachu again.

The two little ones each carried a rock about the size of their heads and did squats with Ash.

Xiaoxia worriedly advised Xiaozhi, "Excessive exercise can actually be harmful to your health, do you know that?"

"Don't worry, Xiaoxia, my body is far from reaching its limit!" This is the confidence of a super rookie.

Xiao Zhi discovered from childhood that his physique was different from ordinary people, with super strong resistance to blows and extremely fast recovery.

Could it really be a Saiyan?

With two final squats, Ash completed today's task.

He doesn't even bother to look at the rewards; it's always the same ones anyway.

Such self-discipline is not due to the system, but because I genuinely enjoy the process of becoming physically stronger after putting in the effort.

Daily quests are fine, but the weekly quests that were just refreshed yesterday are really giving Xiao Zhi a headache.

[Weekly Mission: Pokémon Wolf: Raid Misty at night and make the girl scream!]

【奖励：体力+1~50；速度+1~50；自由点数+1~5；20%概率获得技能‘断崖之剑’】

This system is too dazzling and oppressive.

While people in the Pokémon world are generally precocious, this is just too much.

Something was off from that previous mission in Ward X at night.

Ever since I started traveling with Xiaoxia, every time I refresh the page, it's like this.
